Menu Options

[moflaherty]

Hi!

I am using Outlook 2007 and I have a wish. When I right-click on the system
tray icon for Outlook, I get this menu:

Show Network Warnings
Show Network Connectivity Changes
Open Outlook
etc….

I like my Outlook invisible and not displayed in my task bar (which is
nice.) However, any time I need to send an email, I have to open Outlook and
then select the New menu button. It would be nice if you would have a few
options on the right-click of the system tray icon, like New Email Message
and perhaps some of the more popular choices like New Note, New Contact, etc.
It would save some time from having to open the Outlook interface every time
I want to do something quick.

Thanks!
Michael

How about a 3rd party tool like this one.

I'd use a new toolbar with those selections on it.
